The Apache Jakarta PMC is sorry to announce the retirement of the Jakarta Slide subproject. After it's last release in December 2004, development activity was significantly reduced and came to a total standstill this year. Without a minimum developer community that can release security fixes, we have no choice but to retire Slide. We'll keep at least one of the mailing lists open for a transition period, so users can discuss alternatives and migration away from Slide. Further use of the Slide codebase is discouraged.
One alternative to Slide is provided by the Apache Jackrabbit project. Jackrabbit has a healthy, active developer community and provides, among others things:

About HttpComponents Core -
The HttpCore components implement the most fundamental aspects of the
HTTP protocol. They are nonetheless sufficient to develop basic client
side and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint and no
external dependencies. HttpCore NIO extensions can be used to build
asynchronous HTTP services based on non-blocking I/O model capable of
handling a great number of simultaneous connections with just a few I/O
threads.
HttpCore will form the foundation of the future releases of Apache HttpClient.

Jakarta HiveMind release 1.1.1 is now available; this is a bug fix release. This release addresses performance bottlenecks in HiveMind related to the use of unqualified class names, and the use of the threaded and pooled service lifecycle models. HiveMind 1.1.1 is a drop-in replacement for HiveMind 1.1, and is recommended for use with Tapestry 4.0 applications.
After nearly two years of work, the Tapestry development team is proud to announce the next major release of the Tapestry web application framework.Tapestry is an open-source framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. Tapestry complements and builds upon the standard Java Servlet API, and so it works in any servlet container or application server.
Tapestry divides a web application into a set of pages, each constructed from components. This provides a consistent structure, allowing the Tapestry framework to assume responsibility for key concerns such as URL construction and dispatch, persistent state storage on the client or on the server, user input validation, localization/internationalization, and exception reporting. Developing Tapestry applications involves creating HTML templates using plain HTML, and combining the templates with small amounts of Java code using (optional) XML descriptor files. In Tapestry, you create your application in terms of objects, and the methods and properties of those objects -- and specifically not in terms of URLs and query parameters. Tapestry brings true object oriented development to Java web applications.
Tapestry is specifically designed to make creating new components very easy, as this is a routine approach when building applications. The distribution includes over fifty components, ranging from simple output components all the way up to complex data grids and tree navigators.
Tapestry is architected to scale from tiny applications all the way up to massive applications consisting of hundreds of individual pages, developed by large, diverse teams. Tapestry easily integrates with any kind of backend, including J2EE, HiveMind and Spring.
Tapestry 4.0 represents a significant advance over Tapestry 3.0. The following are the most significant changes between the two releases:
Tapestry is released under the Apache Software Licence 2.0.
Tapestry is distributed as a combined binary/source distribution, and an additional documentation distribution. Tapestry may be downloaded from the Apache Mirrors.
----
-- The Jakarta Tapestry Development Team
The latest (and hopefully, final) release candidate for Jakarta Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Open Source Developers Create Support Community for Emerging Java-based Web Application Framework "Tapestry"
Tapestry 4.0 Beta Now Available
Quincy, Mass. - July 26, 2005 - Open source Java development efforts were boosted today with news of a new support network for Tapestry, an Apache Jakarta project.
Howard M. Lewis Ship, the creator and lead developer for Tapestry and HiveMind, announced today the creation of the Tapestry Support Network (TSN). TSN is a consortium of software developers and consultants that have organized to provide tier-one support, development and training services for Tapestry. A list of TSN founding members, including contact information, is available at www.tapestrysupport.com/members.html.
Tapestry is an emerging open-source framework for creating dynamic, robust, highly scalable web applications in Java. Tapestry complements and builds upon the standard Java Servlet API, and so it works in any servlet container or application server.
In conjunction with the launch of the Tapestry Support Network, the Tapestry 4.0 Beta is now available for download. Tapestry 4.0 offers an array of new and advanced features for Tapestry developers - a full list and additional information is available on the Tapestry project site at jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/.
Tapestry has been rapidly gaining acceptance in the J2EE software development community, and the Tapestry Support Network was formed to serve the needs of this growing group of developers. Hundreds of public web sites and intranet sites worldwide have been built using the Tapestry framework, and more are underway. TheServerSide.com and TheServerSide.net are two of the largest, serving millions of visitors each month. Several of the top 20 business schools in the country are running an admissions application powered by Tapestry.
A powerful alternative to traditional scripting environments, Tapestry provides a complete framework for creating extremely dynamic applications with minimal amounts of coding. Tapestry embodies the software development mantra of "reuse" and provides a powerful object-oriented MVC-based web development framework that is excellent for large, enterprise-class applications. Tapestry components are a combination of an XML specification file, an HTML template and a Java class. Tapestry components are combined together to form larger components or complete Tapestry pages.
"Before Tapestry, web development was nothing short of agonizing," said Tapestry developer James Strong. "You threw all of that object-oriented skill you've been honing for 10 years out of the window. With Tapestry, everything's an object again. You can easily create complex reusable components and accomplish things just not possible with other frameworks."
Tapestry is unlike most other frameworks in that it doesn't use code generation; instead it uses a true component object model based on JavaBeans properties and strong specifications. Tapestry applications require far less Java coding and are far more robust than equivalent applications developed with other popular frameworks. It also was one of the first Java-based web development frameworks to offer line-precise error reporting, giving developers a wealth of information when unexpected code exceptions occur. For additional information on Tapestry, visit jakarta.apache.org/tapestry/.
Tapestry is part of the Apache Jakarta Project, which sponsors and hosts several open source Java development efforts.
"Tapestry represents five years of development down a path validated by Sun's JavaServer Faces initiative," said Tapestry lead developer Ship. "It is a mature, stable, fast and highly efficient platform for web development, and it is 100 percent open source."

Jakarta Commons Betwixt provides a flexible way to map beans into XML - and vice versa.
Betwixt 0.7 is a feature release. A number of new strategies have been introduced to add flexibility. Improvements have been made to binding and introspection including improved support for polymophism. Improvements have been made to the dot betwixt file format including support for multiple specifications within the same file.
Betwixt 0.7 is binary compatible with 0.6 but a number of changes have been made to some semantics. It is believed that the impact of these changes should be minimal.
Download Commons Betwixt 0.7. Please remember to check the sum and verify the signature.
The 1.0 release of the Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) Taglib is now available.
JSP 2.0 based Reusable Dialog Components (RDC) is a framework for creating JSP taglibs that aid in rapid development of voice and multimodal applications. Server-side generation of HTML has proven an effective way of generating the user interface for visual Web applications that are implemented using server-side application frameworks such as Struts. Over time, the effort involved in such HTML generation has been reduced by the availability of various JSP tag libraries that abstract away the minutiae of HTML markup. The goal of the RDC project is to achieve for voice applications what JSP tag libraries have already achieved in the world of visual Web applications.
Downloads:
Binaries and source distributions are available separately. The binaries contain web archives providing documentation, examples and sample applications; in addition to the RDC Taglib java archive and an external TLD for quick reference.
The third beta release of Jakarta Tapestry 4.0 is now available. Tapestry is a component based web application framework that provides lots of functionality with minimal Java coding, and creates an environment that supports high levels of reuse. This is another a bug fix release, building on the beta-2 release, and includes important fixes related to application state objects, client-side input field focus, and OGNL class loader problems.
Tapestry is distributed as a combined binary/source distribution, and a seperate documentation distribution.
The Apache Jakarta Tomcat team is proud to announce the immediate availability of Tomcat 5.5.10-alpha. This build contains 110 improvements, including bug fixes, enhancements, and documentation updates. There are several interesting new features, such as Apache Portable Runtime (APR)-based HTTP/1.1 and AJP/1.3 protocol handlers with SSL support, an experimental NIO-Socket channel for the AJP/1.3 connector, improved support for Java 5 using the Eclipse 3.1 JDT, clustering support at the Engine and Host levels, and more.

The Apache Software Foundation Board passed the following resolution closing Avalon during the 2004 ApacheCon:
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it no longer in the best
interest of the Foundation to continue the Apache Avalon project
due to the separation of the community into new projects
WHEREAS, the Avalon PMC is unable to further fulfill the
responsibilities of creation, maintenance, and support of the
Avalon software
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Apache Avalon Project is
hereby terminated; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Excalibur PMC be and hereby is tasked with
maintenance of the Avalon framework software; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Apache Avalon PMC be and hereby is no longer
responsible for the creation and maintenance of software related to
component and service management, based on software licensed to the
Foundation; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the office of "Vice President, Apache Avalon" is
hereby terminated; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Apache Avalon PMC is hereby terminated.
What does this mean?
--------------------
Avalon is now officially closed. We will be working with the Apache Infrastructure team to close all Avalon resources over the next few days. The mailing lists archives will remain available; the SVN and CVS repositories will become read only; the currently distributed software will remain available via distribution mirrors; the site will be reconstructed to present a "closure" message and appropriate redirects.
Example closure message:
http://avalon.apache.org/closed.html
Where will I get support/code/updates for Avalon?
-------------------------------------------------
As previously announced, Avalon Framework, LogKit, and Cornerstone have been moved to Apache Excalibur (http://excalibur.apache.org) along with the original ECM and Fortress code. The Excalibur team includes many experienced Avalon developers and support questions should be directed there.
Forks of Phoenix and Merlin have started at Codehaus Loom and DPML Metro respectively. Users of those software packages are encouraged to investigate these projects.
I strongly urge all subscribers of these Avalon mailing lists to subscribe to the mailing lists of one or more of the projects mentioned above:
Excalibur Mailing Lists:
http://excalibur.apache.org/mail-lists.html
DPML Mailing Lists:
http://www.dpml.net/central/about/resources/lists.html

Hello all.
Apache Avalon is taking a new direction.
The project has grown quite a bit since its inception in 1999 as the Apache Java Server Framework and since the transfer from Jakarta to its own top level project in 2002. In light of the events over those years, Avalon is taking a new step and dissolving from a single project into several new projects which will carry on the software and spirit of Avalon.
The ASF Board has been notified of the current affairs, in particular the Metro fork and movement of code to Excalibur. The plan is to dismantle Avalon over the next several weeks. Following which, the Board will make the shutdown official at ApacheCon in November. This was done to give us time to handle the closure and transfers here before an official dissolution resolution is submitted and passed.
Avalon's closure means that the site, subversion repositories, and mailing lists will be closed down and made read only. Everything will still be made available in the distribution mirrors and archives. The current site will most likely be removed and a closure notice placed, though we have no detailed plan on the site yet.
Avalon will not turn into abandon-ware, however. The various components of the Avalon platform have been moved or transferred to other locations:
Excalibur --> Apache Excalibur (http://excalibur.apache.org)
Fortress --> Apache Excalibur (http://excalibur.apache.org)
Framework --> Apache Excalibur (http://excalibur.apache.org)
Cornerstone --> Apache Excalibur (http://excalibur.apache.org)
LogKit --> Apache Excalibur (http://excalibur.apache.org)
Phoenix --> Codehaus Loom (http://loom.codehaus.org)
Merlin --> DPML Metro (http://dpml.net)
Magic --> DPML Metro (http://dpml.net)
We have a lot of work to do over the next couple of weeks to ensure a smooth transition. Much of that work will not occur here in Avalon but in the various projects and communities which will be hosting the code. Those interested in assisting should contact the respective new project.
I want to thank everyone who has contributed to Avalon over the years and for all the support which has been provided. If anyone has any questions or concerns about the situation, feel free to post them on the mailing list or even contact me directly.
Thank you,
J Aaron Farr
Avalon Project Management Committee Chair
The Apache Jakarta Tomcat team is proud to announce that after prolonged testing internally and externally, the 5.5.3 release is now labeled a Beta release. That means it's more stable and mature than previous Alpha releases on the Tomcat 5.5 branch, and we encourage more users to download and test it.
Please note that it is not yet a stable release. We expect that with the wider testing given betas, additional issues will be discovered. These will be addressed in the coming 5.5 builds and hopefully we will have a stable release soon.
The changelog, release notes, download locations, and other documentation is the same as for the original 5.5.3 release announcement:

The Jakarta Commons Team is pleased to announce that Betwixt 0.6 is now available. Betwixt is a flexible, dynamic, start-from-java object-XML mapper.
Betwixt release 0.6 is the first release containing the refactored codebase featuring an improved design. This is a service release for those who have been using the code from the development branch and offers an easy, compatible upgrade path for those using the 0.5 design. It is recommended that all users should upgrade to this release since the 0.5 design is no longer actively supported and is limited in terms of functionality.
This release is binary compatible with the 0.5 codebase but the methods deprecated in 0.5 are likely to be removed soon after 0.6 is released.
Betwixt 0.6 is available in binary and source distributions.

The second beta release of the HiveMind services and configuration microkernel is now available. Since the beta-1 release, we've added better documentation and more examples, removed some dependencies, improved the Ant build scripts, added more kinds of "autowiring" of services as well as new ways to combine and connect services and other objects, and fixed some problems using HiveMind with JDK 1.3. And of course, other minor improvements and bug fixes.
HiveMind is available as a combined binary/source release.
The Jakarta Commons team is happy to announce the release of Commons BeanUtils 1.7. This is an important service release intended to help downstream applications solve dependency issues. The dependency on commons collections (which has become problematic now that there are two incompatible series of commons collections releases) has been factored into a separate optional sub-component plus a small number of stable and mature org.apache.commons.collections packaged classes which are distributed with the BeanUtils core. This arrangement means that the BeanUtils core sub-component (which is the primary dependency for most downsteam applications) can now be safely included on the same classpath as commons collections 2.x, 3.x or indeed neither.
The distribution now contains alternative jar sets. The all-in-one jar contains all classes. The modular jar set consists of a core jar dependent only on commons logging and an optional bean collections jar (containing classes that provide easy and efficient ways to manage collections of beans) which depends on commons collections 3.
For more details, see the BeanUtils home page. BeanUtils 1.7.0 is fully binary compatible with earlier BeanUtils releases.
The source and binaries are available for download from the usual places. Please remember to check the MD5 sum when download from a mirror.

Kalnichevski.
o BCodec: Identical to the Base64 encoding defined by RFC 1521 and allows
a character set to be specified. Issue: 26617. Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski.
o QCodec: Similar to the Quoted-Printable content-transfer-encoding defined
in RFC 1521 and designed to allow text containing mostly ASCII characters
to be decipherable on an ASCII terminal without decoding. Issue: 26617.
Thanks to Oleg Kalnichevski.
o Soundex: Implemented the DIFFERENCE algorithm. Issue: 25243. Thanks to
Matthew Inger.

Issue: 28457.
o Added missing tags in Javadoc comments.
o General Javadoc improvements.
Changes:
o This version is relesed under the Apache License 2.0 , please see

It allows you to structure your application in terms of services (as Plain Old Java Objects) and related configuration data. The framework is responsible for instantiating service objects, connecting services to each other, and does it all in a just-in-time thread-safe manner. HiveMind features the same great line precise error reporting features as Tapestry. HiveMind helps you build more complex, more robust, most performant applications while writing less code!
HiveMind is available as a combined binary/source release.
The Jakarta Commons team is pleased to announce the release of Betwixt 0.5. Betwixt is a dynamic start-from-java xml-object mapper. For more details see http://commons.apache.org/betwixt/.
This release is intended to consolidate the codebase previously released as Betwixt-1.0-Alpha-1. It is recommended that those users who are currently using that release or later snapshots (of this codebase) upgrade to this version. Note that those users currently using a snapshot from the refactoring branch should wait until the 0.6 version is released.
A new release and versioning strategy for Betwixt has been adopted. The version name 0.5 more accurately reflects the current state of the released codebase. It is stable but limited and important elements of the API are likely to change in the future. More frequent releases are now planning and a 0.6 release containing the improved bean reading design is planned for the near future.

Henri Yandell has been elected as
the next Jakarta Chair succeeding Geir Magnusson Jr.
Here's Henri eulogy for Geir:
By the way, in case it's Monday morning and everything is a haze, I should mention that the board have accepted the PMC's recommendation of myself as PMC chair to replace Geir.While Geir is an example of a developer who is synonymous with Jakarta,
he's now taking on the highly public role of Geronimo PMC chair which
should dovetail with his role as Apache's JCP representative quite nicely.I'm sure we're all very appreciative of his chairship over the last 6
months, and I'm looking forward to trying to live up to his and Sam's
example.

The Jakarta Turbine team is pleased to announce the release of the next version of the Turbine Web Application Framework:
Jakarta Turbine 2.3
===================
The CVS tag for this version is TURBINE_2_3
The branch tag for maintenance versions is TURBINE_2_3_BRANCH
You can find a list of changes here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/changes.html
Source and binary distributions for JDK 1.3.1 and JDK 1.4.2 are available from the apache mirror system or from
http://www.apache.org/dist/jakarta/turbine/
Some Notes
Turbine 2.3 no longer supports WebMacro, Freemarker or Castor
Turbine 2.3 is the first release to consequently use commons-logging and commons-configuration to remove the need for its own logging and resource services
Turbine 2.3 can load and use Avalon Components with the Avalon Service
The Templating engine at the core of Turbine has been completely overhauled and is now much more flexible and stable. However, this comes at the price that using "/" for template separators is no longer possible (This is a major change from our previous versions).
Turbine 2.3 uses maven as its primary build tool. Building with Eclipse is possible but not officially supported. Building with ant only is no longer supported.
The Turbine team really would like to thank all the contributors, users and members of the development and user list that helped with comments, patches and critisism to make this the best Turbine release yet. The announcement author would also like to thank the Torque team because I stole the layout of the announcement from you. ;-)

As you may have heard by now, the Apache Software Foundation has initiated a project to develop an open source, Apache-licensed implementation of the J2EE specification. In addition, the project is committed to certifying the implementation as J2EE compliant. This is an ambitious goal and will present a formidable challenge for the people involved, given the wide range of technologies covered by the specification.
The project (tentatively named "Apache Geronimo") builds upon the many Java projects at the Apache Software Foundation. In addition, the project is bringing together leading members of the Castor, JBoss, MX4J and OpenEJB communities. We would like to extend an open invitation to everyone involved in the J2EE space, both commercial entities and talented individuals, to join the community and build a world-class J2EE implementation.
The Apache Software Foundation is in a unique position to build a J2EE compliant platform. Our non-profit, charity status, and our relationship with Sun Microsystems, provides the Foundation with access to the J2EE TCKs, making it possible to achieve certification. In addition, our flexible and unrestrictive licensing makes it possible for a wide variety of participants to assist in the development of Apache Geronimo, and to build their own solutions upon the platform.
Apache Geronimo has been launched within the Apache Incubator. You can find more information about the Incubator at http://incubator.apache.org/.
Mailing Lists
Apache Geronimo has two mailing lists of interest:
geronimo-dev@incubator.apache.org
geronimo-cvs@incubator.apache.org
The geronimo-dev mailing list is where all the discussion occurs. The geronimo-cvs mailing list receives commit mails each time a commit is made to the incubator-geronimo CVS module.
You can subscribe to the mailing lists by sending an email to one or both of the following addresses:
geronimo-dev-subscribe@incubator.apache.org
geronimo-cvs-subscribe@incubator.apache.org
The original proposal of Geronimo can be found from here.
For more information, visit the The Apache Geronimo (Tentative) Website
On behalf of the Apache Geronimo Team,
Greg Stein,
Chairman of the Apache Software Foundation
